Cl4'lfLQ4'Cl CANIEBA CLUB Rawls, Robinson, P., Gregg, Bingham, Oldberg, Vllebster Gilliatt, jones, T.. Mr. Deake, Andrews, -lones, M., Villard llarwood, Camble, XYright, Deknatel, Damon This year, as in the past, the main goal of the Camera Club has been to promote interest in photography among its mem- bers and among the entire student body. Under the leadership of President Phil An- drews and the Advisor, Mr. Deake, the Club held its annual contest, in which an un- usually large number of photographs was entered. From this group, twelve pictures were picked for the annual calendar, and others were mounted for an exhibition in XVigg Hall. The calendar, sold earlier than in previous years, and thus serving a greater popular demand, sold almost three hun- dred copies and made the greatest profit in the history of the organization. This year, contrary to seasons past, all members have been encouraged in the un- 5 restricted use of the darkroom. The room, although essentially the same, has been repainted and plastic table tops have been put on the counters. It is now a pleasanter place in which to work. A limited program of speakers has been included in order to give the boys more time to work on photog- raphy in its more practical applications, and to put into practice what they learn from various lectures. One pfoject the Club was proud to undertake was the financing of uHellf' an amateur movie pro- duced this spring. Good luck is extended to the new officers, who plan to hold a contest with large cash prizes next year which will, we hope, create even more interest in the Held of photog- raphy.

CSL! an ountaineering The Ski and Mountaineering Club has been unusually active this year. Starting the year off with good weather, it had four climbs at the Quincy Quarries in the first month and was able to hold early elections which netted eight new members. After one more Quarry climb, the Club was ready for the Pawtuckaway trip. With Benny Dane, last year's Vice-President, the mission slept out and got its first taste of real climbing, with three or four on a rope. Even though it rained, spirits remained high. Due to the slow winter, there was no ski- ing until the Mid-VVinter Holiday, when twenty-seven skiers cleaned off Cannon Mountain in the rain and others went to the Wildcat Trail. Though the skiing this was possible to Big Blue, after a flash snow stormj, everyone was ready for the Club's Ski Weekend which came on March 7. The trip was almost completely Washed out but Mr. Carter brought us to the Gulf of Slides where two days were passed skiing in beautiful snow. After Spring Vacation, there was a Club meeting at Mr. Carter's house, at which the whole Club was shown pictures of the trip to Europe taken by several members last summer. Several climbs in the Quarries were tucked in before graduation. The Club hopes that next year's officers, Harold Janeway and John Wylde, will have as good a season as was had this year under Harry Eldridge, but will 1'CCOiVC better co- operation from the weather. year was very poor nearby C only one trip . , t .ani fl R SKI AND BJOUNTAINEERING CLUB Noble, Edmonds, Francis, Grinnell, Washburn, Crocker, Butler Coulter, XVilliams, Hartmann, Hallett, Perkins, Haines, Sherbrooke, Fitzgibbons Rawls, -Ianeway, Eldridge, Mr. Carter, Davis, NVylde, Swett 47

GAQSS The Chess Club started off rather slowly this year, with only a few meetings during the first months of school. The Clulfs pro- gram centered about activity within the school itself, and, although four matches were scheduled for the year, only two took place. Both lloxhury Latin and Groton had difficulty in getting to the school, two matches were played against the Faculty however, the first ending in a 3-3 tie, and the second in victory for the Faculty. This year, for the first time, the collection of membership dues was established. From this amount, the Cluh purchased two chess sets which have been placed in the l,ilJI'ill'y. These sets are for use hy lab both meinhers and non-ineinbers, the in- tention is to increase the opportunities for playing in the school. Though there was an unusually large senior membership this year, there were many underclassmen who joined the club and learned to play Chess. These underclassmen show promise in forming a large and active club next year, one which will he ahle to extend the program of frequent chess playing. YVe wish to thank Mr. Koehler for all that he has done for us this year, and to thank Nlike ltohertson, the President. The seniors also wish President-elect Tom ltossitcr and Vice-President-elect Hohy Spalding the hest of luck for the coming year.
